I’ve seen people posting tweets from public figures talking about alligators, seen other people joking about alligators. It appears to me that the issue is political, not environmental, but I don’t fully get the picture.

What’s going on?

          Not to mention, that 65 million figure is the total number of Latino people in the US - born citizens, naturalized citizens, documented and undocumented immigrants. It’s clear that they’re ramping up to imprison anyone they deem insufficiently white.

          We’re in extremely dangerous territory.

      The problem is propaganda and a deliberate decision by MAGA to make their every effort to refuse to see a duck for a duck.

      These people don’t support “concentration camps” they support “detention centers” that “house immigrants” before deportation.

      Nevermind that it’s a distinction without a difference, morally it feels better to tell yourself it’s not a concentration camp and that you’d never support a concentration camp. But they are, and they do. They’d just never admit it to you or themselves.

      As for the profit: of fucking course. This is America, we socialize corporate expenses and privatize corporate profits for everything. The intended purpose for taxation of the working class now is to feed the ultra wealthy a competition free source of additional wealth.
